 Which railroad line between Boston and New York, asks the Boston Herald, will be the first to put on a vestibule train, with all the appliances of frst-class club, including reading-room stocked with Rrowning's poems, and Buddhistic temple for the faithful.
 Even the most single-minded of the labor reformers don't seem to love each other very we'll. John Swinton says of Henry George that he is physiocrat who possesses p1as- ter which, in his opinion, is ''oure all" for every ill. Some people would as soon be called ''rat" as physiocrat.
 Some of the Umatilla Indians have rather expressive names.

THE CLOTHES LINE E MAN.
An Interesting Character Who Haunts
 Back Yards up in Harlem.

The clothes line man of Harlem is char acter and holds a monopoly of the trade. The back yards is his stumping ground. His name is not known, but the people of the upper district call him the Early Bird. He is yo1ng man, and with his right arm rounded with coil of rope and his left GOV cred with pulleys, he comes forth daily with the familisr cry of ''clothes lines, penny a yard; put it up for nothing" and chiefly haunts the big apartment houses. To ob- tain an entrance into the yards of these he is invariably obliged to run the gauntlet of hearhhearted janitor or owners. When he effects an entrance it is an easy matter to dispose of hundreds of yards of line and place it before the janitor discovers and or ders him off. Speaking of his strange busi- ness yesterday the clothes line hanger said: "I have been engaged in the scheme for sey- eral years. Yes, I often have trouble in climbing poles, but my knowledge of sea life stands me in good stead in slippery weather. Some days I sell one thousand yards of line and half a hundred pulleys. Once I get into the yard I climb all the fences along the block and go from yard to yard. Business has been very good this winter"

Take Care of the Pennies.

Americans are said te be a careless, money spending people, who disdain or do not care to pr actice those small economies which the French and German nations, for example, find necessary. There is probably some truth in this charge, for in America money comes easier than in the old coun, tries, and also goes easier. Yet America is the land of inventions, and of new ideas, and of uni versal progress Among the new ideas one which has occasioned good deal of talk, is the adapta- tion of Lactart and Honey to the cure Of coughs and colds This preparation is put up by the Avery Lactate company of Boston, the manufac of the famous Lactart (acid of milk and is meeting with wonderful success in the cure @ oi coughs, colds hoarseness and sore throat. LactaTl being the pure acid of milk compounded with honey in certain proportions, is found to possess terious in this result, for people have always been in the habit of using "a sweet and sour for throat difficulties But nothing in this line as effective as Lactart and Honey has before been tried Dr. O. s. Sanders, one of BostonS als- tinguished physicians, writes: II recommena Lac tc tart and Honey for coughs, colds sore throat & s1c 1t aids the bowels in constipation and mas ike effect in diarrhea;'' and his testimony is sup up ported by many others Lacar5 ana sr to benet the user.

Women at Washington.

Correspondence of the New York Tribune.l
 There is good deal of talk this year about the prominence which divorced women, or women living apart from their husbands, have assumed in Washington society. Of late several ladies coming under this head have been rather conspicuous, and they un- doubtedly have shown an anxiety to act the part of Headers" This has been resented by the young matrons who heretofore have had it all their own way. In the skirmishes, however, which took place last winter they were crowded completely to the wall by their rivals, who as 8 rule it must be confessed are much more clever, and move about in an at mosphere of mystery and freedom very con- genial to the foreigners of questionable ante cedents, with whom the different legations here are stocked to overfowing. The for eigners are made the pets of "society" here. They are believed to give tone to an enter tainment. They are sought for at dinners. They receive invitations to every ball. No theater party is considered success without it's proportion of foreign attaches. It is in this way that the divorced contingent has succeeded in fertifying it's position here. It is even patronized by the highest official so- ciety, much to the disgust of the "stralt- laced set' who are accustomed to look in that direction, if not for brightness, at least for respectable dulIness

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

On the 18th of May, 1887, the Baltimore
Sun will celebrate its Fiftieth Anniversary.
From the earliest period Of its career the
Sun has been a household" word in the
homes of its subribers, and a synonym for
accuracy of statement, fair dealing, prompt
ness, energy and enterprise in the collec-
tion Of News. 1t is noted throughout the
country for the independence, conservatism
and thoughtfulness Of its editorial utteran-
ces. There is probably no newspaper in
the United States whose opinions carry
more weight or whose influence is more
widely extended than the Suns, fact upon
which 1t may justly pride itself as the le-
gitimate result Of painstaking care in the
preparation of all matter admitted to its
columns. The Suns facilities for collect
ing news from all quarters of the globe are
being constantly extended and improved,
and new features are added without regard
to expense as the occasion demands.
The Baltimore Weekly Sun has long oc-
cupied an enviablc position as a model
family newspaper, containing not only the
news of the world and variety Of literary
matter and miscellaneous reading for the
family circle, but special features of recog-
nized value, including an agricultural de-
partment which supplies every week a
mass of well-digested information for the
farmer.
Full commercial, financial, cotton, cattle,
market and stock reports up to the hour of
going to press.
